Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 reverse to Gent in the Europa League on Thursday night was greeted with much amusement by West Ham fans on social media.

Hammers supporters had to take the flak when their team was beaten over two legs by Astra Giurgiu in the qualifying rounds of the tournament way back in August but it was their turn to sit back and laugh on Thursday night.

With Spurs being knocked out of the Champions League and falling into the last 32 of the lesser competition, Hammers fans took great pleasure in seeing their North London rivals struggles against a side currently eighth in the Belgian League.
